Help with recall.

[Longgun]

In the house you can try luring the dog. Put the treat on the dogs nose and back up and hopefully the dog will follow the treat. After you have gone a few yards give the treat.

While all these other suggestions might help and be useful, why not just Find a "Dog Obedience Training Club "in your area and sign up for classes.
At 5 months old your dog is still a puppy , and has a lot to learn, all Obedience Clubs offer puppy obedience training sessions, in which both your puppy and you will learn a lot, you will find out many tricks of the trade that trainers use in dog training .

All great ideas ,
Going to go with food as the positive reinforcement , also think it may be a bonding /building trust between us issue .
She's already coming around a bit .

One note about food/treat training.

The obedience trainer I went to used no food related training & was actually against it. His reasoning for this is if you are in a emergency situation with your dog & you need it to come back to you & you don't have a treat handy you are basically screwed. Positive reinforcement is all that is needed with most dogs & it worked with mine.

Enroll in basic obedience with a qualified trainer & BTW not the pet-smart puppy classes...

Great advice ,
seems it's just the recall, got her walking correctly on a leash, sitting, down , and we're working on the stay as the goes hand in hand with the recall.

My first dog was a Siberian husky. Beyond stubborn & he didn't like to be confined in any way shape or form. He was an escape artist. Not loyal to anyone either.lol My lab female is the complete opposite..

They(Siberians) understand only one word GO ! lol They require a very patient approach and you need to be a few steps ahead of them.Siberians will always be my favorite breed regardless of the time and effort it took to train some of them. Not all were difficult to train and I have some really good stories on how a few of my lead dogs over the years saved my butt on more than one occasion.They are a very intelligent breed and are master escape artist's My labs were a breeze to train compared to my Siberian's because of there willingness to please.

Great idea, once you learn how she ticks and how she learns you will be off to the races! I have 2 GSPs (2yrs old and 9 months old), recall was 'fun' lol, we started with a 6 foot check, 12 foot and 50 foot. I always set them up for success when working on recall and I collar conditioned at 14 months old - I use the collar for recall and distance sit-stay. It is my insurance policy, I know that if we are ever in a dangerous situation I can make her either come to my side no question or stay put and wait for me to come to her.

You can also use a toy as a reward
